This week on Choosing Chaos: Solo Motherhood by Choice, Laura sits down with Bernie — a newer mom to a baby girl conceived through embryo donation — for one of the most honest and entertaining conversations yet.

Bernie opens up about knowing from a young age that motherhood was always part of her dream, the relationship that almost changed the course of her journey, and how she ultimately found her way to solo motherhood. Together, Laura, Kristen and Bernie explore the beauty of self-regulation, what it looks like to help your baby learn emotional regulation alongside you, and the reality that motherhood often teaches us just as much about ourselves as it does about parenting.

The conversation also dives into the hilariously relatable side of single motherhood — including why dating in this season of life can feel like far more work than it’s worth. Honest, thoughtful, funny, and deeply real, this episode is a reminder that there’s beauty in embracing motherhood exactly as it comes.
